w WARNING
The rear shock absorbers are filled with
high pressure gas. Never attempt to
disassemble it or throw it into a fire.
Avoid storing it near a heater or heating
device. When scrapping the absorber,
the gas must be released from the
absorber safely. Ask your dealer for
assistance. All maintenance should be carried out with
the ignition switch in the “OFF” position
and the car parked securely on the level
ground unless otherwise specified.
If you are in any way unsure of your
ability to undertake a task, then do not
start it but contact your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer to perform the work for you.
